- the projection 4 , the projection 71 , and the projection 72 are integrated with the die pad substrate 70 .
- the projection 4 , the projection 71 , and the projection 72 are also formed by, for example, pressing, etching, or film formation.
- FIG. 1 illustrates that two projections, which are the projection 71 and the projection 72 , surround the projection 4 in a plan view
- any number of projections may surround the projection 4 in a plan view. That is, more than two projections may surround the projection 4 in a plan view.
- a single projection alone may surround the projection 4 .
- the number of projections surrounding the projection 4 in a plan view may be changed in response to requirements for individual semiconductor chips, when the plurality of semiconductor chips are disposed on the upper surface of the die pad substrate 70 .
- the following description is directed to a semiconductor chip 1 , a semiconductor chip 11 , and a semiconductor chip 12 , where the semiconductor chip 1 has an area enough to cover the projection 4 in a plan view, where the semiconductor chip 11 has an area enough to cover the projection 4 and the projection 71 in a plan view, and where the semiconductor chip 12 has an area enough to cover the projection 4 , the projection 71 , and the projection 72 in a plan view.
- FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a structure in which the semiconductor chip 11 is bonded to the upper surface of the die pad substrate 70 provided with the projection 4 , the projection 71 , and the projection 72 .
- FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional vie w of the structure taken along the line A-A′ in FIG. 2 .
- the semiconductor chip 11 is bonded to the upper surface of the die pad substrate 70 through a bonding material 3 .
- the semiconductor chip 11 extends from a region provided with the projection 4 through a region provided with the projection 71 .
- the die pad is disposed on the upper surface of a semiconductor substrate as part of the semiconductor substrate; alternatively, the die pad is disposed on the upper surface of a lead frame as part of the lead frame.
- the die pad is made of a conductive member.
- Bonded to the upper surface of the semiconductor chip 11 is, for example, a conductive wire or a conductive metal material, for establishing electrical conduction.
- the semiconductor chip 11 has ends each located above a groove 101 between the projection 71 and the projection 72 . In other words, the ends of the semiconductor chip 11 are located beyond the outer periphery of the projection 71 .
- FIGS. 2 and 3 illustrate that each side of the outer periphery of the projection 71 is shorter than the corresponding side of the semiconductor chip 11 .
- FIGS. 2 and 3 also illustrate that each side of the inner periphery of the projection 72 is longer than the corresponding side of the semiconductor chip 11 .
- the semiconductor chip 11 is bonded to the projection 4 and the projection 71 through the bonding material 3 .
- a necessary amount of the bonding material 3 is firstly supplied to the upper surface of the individual projections, i.e., the upper surface of the projection 4 and the upper surface of the projection 71 , by dispensing and printing.
- the semiconductor chip 11 is mounted using a semiconductor-chip mounting apparatus, such as a mounter or a die bonder.
- a semiconductor-chip mounting apparatus such as a mounter or a die bonder.
- the bonding material 3 is pressed to extend up to the upper surface of each projection by the semiconductor chip 11 .
- the bonding material 3 then reaches the ends of each projection, and then finally falls down to extend to the upper surface of the die pad substrate 70 .
- the bonding material 3 may be supplied in any manner. Accordingly, the bonding material 3 may be intensively supplied to a single site on the upper surface of the projection 4 , or to a single site on the upper surface of the projection 71 . Alternatively, the bonding material 3 may be distributed to a plurality of sites.
- the bonding material 3 may also be supplied so as to extend across the upper surface of the projection 4 and across the upper surface of the projection 71 , provided that the bonding material 3 is supplied so as to always exist inside the semiconductor chip 11 in a plan view.
- the projection 4 and the projection 71 sandwich a groove 100 .
- how much and where the bonding material 3 is to be supplied are regulated such that the groove 100 is filled with the bonding material 3 and that the groove 101 , which is sandwiched by the projection 71 and the projection 72 , is partly but not completely filled with the bonding material 3 .
- the bonding material 3 as supplied falls down the groove 100 and further down the groove 101 before reaching the ends of the semiconductor chip 11 . Consequently, the amount of the bonding material 3 decreases that extends up to the side surfaces of the semiconductor chip 11 and to the upper surface of the semiconductor chip 11 , while the amount of the bonding material 3 increases that extends to the upper surface of the die pad substrate 70 . This prevents the bonding material 3 from reaching the side surfaces of the semiconductor chip 11 and the upper surface of the semiconductor chip 11 .
- the semiconductor chip 1 has ends each located above the groove 100 , which is disposed between the projection 4 and the projection 71 . That is, each end of the semiconductor chip 1 is located beyond the corresponding side surface of the projection 4 .
- the semiconductor chip 1 is configured such that each side of the outer periphery of the projection 4 is shorter than the corresponding side of the semiconductor chip 1 . Further, although not illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3 , the semiconductor chip 1 is configured such that each side of the inner periphery of the projection 71 is longer than the corresponding side of the semiconductor chip 1 .
- the semiconductor chip 12 has ends each located above the die pad substrate 70 extending outward from the projection 72 .
- the semiconductor chip 12 is configured such that each side of the outer periphery of the projection 72 is shorter than the corresponding side of the semiconductor chip 12 .
- the outer periphery of the projection corresponding to the individual semiconductor chip preferably has sides each shorter than the corresponding side of the semiconductor chip by, for instance, 100 ⁇ m or greater, in view of all factors, such as semiconductor-chip mounting accuracy of an apparatus on which a semiconductor chip is to be mounted, variations in cutting a semiconductor substrate into semiconductor chips, and accuracy in forming projections on the upper surface of the die pad substrate 70 .
- each side of the projection 4 in a plan, view is preferably shorter than the corresponding side of the semiconductor chip 1 by 100 ⁇ m or greater.
- each side of the outer periphery of the projection 71 in a plan view is preferably shorter than the corresponding side of the semiconductor chip 11 by 100 ⁇ m or greater.
- each side of the outer periphery of the projection 72 in a plan view is preferably shorter than the corresponding side of the semiconductor chip 12 by 100 ⁇ m or greater.
- the projection 71 and the projection 72 which surround the projection 4 in a plan view, each do not need to be a single, continuous projection.
- FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a structure where the individual projection, which surrounds the projection 4 in a plan view, is composed of a plurality of parts spaced apart from each other.
- the die pad includes the following: the die pad substrate 70 ; the projection 4 disposed on the upper surface of the die pad substrate 70 , the projection 4 having a pedestal shape; a projection 71 A disposed on the upper surface of the die pad substrate 70 so as to surround the projection 4 in a plan view; and a projection 72 A disposed on the upper surface of the die pad substrate 70 so as to further surround the projection 71 A in a plan view.
- the projection 71 A includes a projection 711 , a projection 712 , a projection 713 , and a projection 714 .
- the projection 72 A includes a projection 721 , a projection 722 , a projection 723 , and a projection 724 .
- the projection 711 and the projection 713 are disposed in positions facing each other. Further, the projection 712 and the projection 714 are disposed in positions facing each other.
- the projection 721 and the projection 723 are disposed in positions facing each other. Further, the projection 722 and the projection 724 are disposed in positions facing each other.
- the bonding material 3 that has reached the ends of the projection 71 A falls down the groove 100 between the projection 71 A and the projection 72 A.
- more amount of the bonding material 3 than appropriate, if any, causes the bonding material 3 to extend up to an upper portion of the projection 72 A upon reaching the projection 72 A.
- the projection 72 A includes a plurality of projections spaced apart from each other, namely, the projection 721 , the projection 722 , the projection 723 , and the projection 724 . Accordingly, the bonding material 3 passes through between these projections of the projection 72 A spaced apart from each other to thus leak outside the projection 72 A. This prevents the bonding material 3 from extending up to the upper surface of the projection 72 A, and further prevents the bonding material 3 from extending up to the side surfaces of the semiconductor chip 11 and the upper surface of the semiconductor chip 11 .
- the bonding material 3 may be a resin adhesive.
- the bonding material 3 may be a metal bonding material, such as solder or a sintered material.
- solder or a conductive bonding material, such as solder, Ag paste, or sintered Ag, allows the first preferred embodiment to apply to a semiconductor device that needs to establish electrical conduction from the upper surface of a semiconductor chip, through the inside of the semiconductor chip, to the lower surface of the semiconductor chip, projections, and further a die pad.
- FIG. 5 is a schematic perspective view of a configuration for achieving the die pad according to the second preferred embodiment. In view of easy understanding of the configuration, FIG. 5 may contain omission or simplification of some of the components.
- the die pad includes the following: the die pad substrate 70 ; the projection 4 disposed on the upper surface of the die pad substrate 70 , the projection 4 having a pedestal shape; a projection 71 B disposed on the upper surface of the die pad substrate 70 so as to partly surround the projection 4 in a plan view; and a projection 72 B disposed on the upper surface of the die pad substrate 70 so as to partly surround the projection 71 B in a plan view.
- the projection 71 B is provided to partly surround the projection 4 in a plan view. In other words, the projection 71 B does not completely surround the perimeter of the projection 4 in a plan view; that is, the projection 71 B has such a shape that its perimeter is partly lacking. If the projection 4 is rectangular in a plan view, the projection 71 B is lacking in a site adjacent to the projection 4 , facing at least one of the sides of the projection 4 or part of this side, as illustrated in FIG. 5 .
- the projection 72 B is likewise provided to partly surround the projection 4 in a plan view, and is also provided to partly surround the projection 71 B in a plan view. In other words, the projection 72 B does not completely surround the perimeter of the projection 71 B in a plan view; that is, the projection 72 B has such a shape that its perimeter is partly lacking. If the projection 71 B is rectangular in a plan view, the projection 72 B is lacking in a site adjacent to the projection 71 B, facing at least one of the sides of the projection 71 B or part of this side, as illustrated in FIG. 5 .
- the semiconductor chip 1 , the semiconductor chip 11 , or the semiconductor chip 12 is mounted such that one of the sides of the semiconductor chip is located outside one of the four sides of the projection 4 . Reference is made to the three remaining sides of each semiconductor chip. For the semiconductor chip 1 , the three remaining sides are located outside the projection 4 ; for the semiconductor chip 11 , outside the projection 71 B; and for the semiconductor chip 12 , outside the projection 72 B.
- FIG. 6 is a perspective view of a structure in which the semiconductor chip 11 is bonded to the upper surface of the die pad substrate 70 provided with the projection 4 , the projection 71 B and the projection 72 B. It is noted that any number of projections may be provided other than three projections as illustrated in FIG. 6 . In some embodiments, further additional projections are provided that partly surround the projection 4 in a plan view. Alternatively, a single projection may be provided that partly surrounds the projection.
- such a configuration enables one of the sides of the individual semiconductor chips to be disposed in a common position. That is, one of the sides of each semiconductor chip, the one side having no projection 71 B and no projection 72 B, is disposed in the same position. This achieves a uniform distance between a specific site and the different-sized semiconductor chips.
- FIG. 7 is a schematic perspective view of a configuration for achieving the die pad according to the third preferred embodiment. In view of easy understanding of the configuration, FIG. 7 may contain omission or simplification of some of the components.
- the method includes forming an annular groove 9 on the upper surface of the die pad substrate 70 to form a projection 4 C having a pedestal shape.
- the method further includes forming a plurality of grooves: a groove 91 ; and a groove 92 in the outer periphery of the groove 9 to form a projection 71 C having a bank shape and a projection 72 C having a bank shape.
- each groove is simply required to be formed by pressing or etching.
- the formation of each groove can coincide with the shaping of the lead frame: additionally, for a semiconductor substrate, the formation of each groove can coincide with the formation of the die pad.
- Each projection is thus easily formed.
- a plurality of grooves may be formed in the outer peripheries of the three remaining sides of the groove, excluding one of the sides thereof, so that the structures as illustrated in FIGS. 5 and 6 can be established to thus provide a limited position for mounting the semiconductor chip.
- FIG. 8 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a configuration for achieving the die pad according to the fourth preferred embodiment.
- FIG. 8 may contain omission or simplification of some of the components.
- the die pad includes the following: the die pad substrate 70 ; a projection 4 D disposed on the upper surface of the die pad substrate 70 , the projection 4 D having a pedestal shape; a projection 71 D disposed on the upper surface of the die pad substrate 70 so as to surround the projection 4 D in a plan view, the projection 71 D having a bank shape; and a projection 72 D disposed on the upper surface of the die pad substrate 70 so as to further surround the projection 71 D in a plan view, the projection 72 D having a bank shape.
- the projection 4 D is provided with side surfaces each having an inclined shape 200 that extends outward toward a lower position of the projection 4 D, i.e., so as to extend outward from the upper surface of the projection 4 D toward the bottom surface of a groove 100 A.
- the projection 71 D is provided with an outer peripheral surface having an inclined shape 201 that extends outward toward a lower position of the projection 71 D, i.e., extends outward from the upper surface of the projection 71 D toward the bottom surface of a groove 101 A. As illustrated in FIG.
- the projection 72 D is provided with an outer peripheral surface having an inclined shape 202 that extends outward toward a lower position of the projection 72 D, i.e., extends outward from the upper surface of the projection 72 D toward the upper surface of the die pad substrate 70 , adjacent to the outer periphery of the projection 72 D.
- the bonding material 3 falls down the grooves between the projections along the inclines.
- the bonding material 3 is stably distributed to corners formed by each projection and the die pad substrate 70 , i.e., corners on the bottom surface of each groove.
- the bonding material 3 which is supplied to the upper surface of the projection 4 D, extends along the inclined shape 200 .
- the bonding material 3 then extends to internal corners of the groove 100 A, and further to external corners of the groove 100 A.
- the bonding material 3 then reaches the upper surface of the projection 71 D, and further extends along the inclined shape 201 .
- the bonding material 3 then extends to internal corners of the groove 101 A, and further to external corners of the groove 101 A.
- the bonding material 3 When the semiconductor chip 12 is bonded, the bonding material 3 reaches the upper surface of the projection 72 D and further extends along the inclined shape 202 . The bonding material 3 then extends to external corners of the projection 72 D.
- the replacement may be done over several preferred embodiments. That is, combinations of the individual configurations, which are illustrated in the different preferred embodiments, may bring like effects.

Abstract
Description
- The specification discloses a technique that relates to a die pad, a semiconductor device, and a method for producing the semiconductor device.
- In recent years, integrated circuits (ICs) or large-scale integrations (LSIs), for instance, needs to have a high degree of integration. In particular, the semiconductor chips need to be reduced in thickness for their improved stacking capabilities.
- Such a reduction in thickness of the semiconductor chips has progressed also in the field of power semiconductors, in order to reduce energy losses (cf. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-127233). A typical semiconductor chip is bonded, with a bonding material, to the upper surface of a die pad on the upper surface of a lead frame. Alternatively, the semiconductor chip is bonded, with the bonding material, to the upper surface of the die pad on the upper surface of a semiconductor substrate.
- When the semiconductor chip is reduced to have a thickness of 200 μm or less for instance, the bonding material extends up to the upper surface of the semiconductor chip to thus possibly cover an electrode on a surface of the semiconductor chip. Further, when the semiconductor chip is reduced to have a thickness of 200 μm or less for instance, the bonding material reaches the upper and lower surfaces of the semiconductor chip to thus possibly cause electrical shorting between the upper and lower surfaces of the semiconductor chip.
- The present invention relates to a technique for preventing a bonding material from reaching the upper and lower surfaces of a semiconductor chip in bonding the semiconductor chip using the bonding material.
- A die pad according to a first aspect of the technique disclosed in the specification includes the following: a die pad substrate; a first projection disposed on the upper surface of the die pad substrate, the first projection having a pedestal shape; a second projection disposed on the upper surface of the die pad substrate so as to surround at least part of the first projection in a plan view, the second projection having a bank shape; and a third projection disposed on the upper surface of the die pad substrate so as to surround at least part of the second projection in a plan view, the third projection having a bank shape.
- A semiconductor device according to a second aspect of the technique disclosed in the specification includes a die pad, and a semiconductor chip disposed above the upper surface of the die pad through a bonding material. The die pad includes the following: a die pad substrate; a first projection disposed on the upper surface of the die pad substrate, in a region provided with the semiconductor chip, the first projection having a pedestal shape; a second projection disposed on the upper surface of the die pad substrate so as to surround at least part of the first projection in a plan view, the second projection having a bank shape; and a third projection disposed on the upper surface of the die pad substrate so as to surround at least part of the second projection in a plan view, the third projection having a bank shape. The semiconductor chip, which is disposed above the upper surface of the die pad substrate, has an end located above a first groove between the first projection and the second projection, above a second groove between the second projection and the third projection, or above the die pad substrate extending outward from the third projection.
- A method for producing a semiconductor device, according to a third aspect of the technique disclosed in the specification includes preparing a die pad, and placing a semiconductor chip above the upper surface of the die pad through a bonding material. The preparation of the die pad includes the following: preparing a die pad substrate; forming a first groove surrounding a partial region onto the upper surface of the die pad substrate to form a first projection having a pedestal shape; forming a second groove surrounding the first groove onto the upper surface of the die pad substrate to form a second projection having a bank shape; and forming a third groove surrounding the second groove onto the upper surface of the die pad substrate to form a third projection having a bank shape. The placement of the semiconductor chip above the upper surface of the die pad substrate through the bonding material includes the following: placing the semiconductor chip above the first projection, which is disposed on the upper surface of the die pad substrate through the bonding material. When the semiconductor chip is placed above the upper surface of the die pad through the bonding material, the semiconductor chip, which is disposed above the upper surface of the die pad substrate, has an end positioned above the first groove, above the second groove, or above the third groove.

- <Configuration of Die Pad>
-
FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view of a configuration for achieving the die pad according to the first preferred embodiment. In view of easy understanding of the configuration,FIG. 1 may contain omission or simplification of some of the components. - As illustrated in
FIG. 1 , the die pad includes the following: adie pad substrate 70; a projection 4 disposed on the upper surface of thedie pad substrate 70, the projection 4 having a pedestal shape; aprojection 71 disposed on the upper surface of thedie pad substrate 70 so as to surround the projection 4 in a plan view, theprojection 71 having a bank shape; and aprojection 72 disposed on the upper surface of thedie pad substrate 70 so as to further surround theprojection 71 in a plan view, theprojection 72 having a bank shape. - The projection 4, the
projection 71, and theprojection 72 are integrated with thedie pad substrate 70. The projection 4, theprojection 71, and theprojection 72 are also formed by, for example, pressing, etching, or film formation. - Although
FIG. 1 illustrates that two projections, which are theprojection 71 and theprojection 72, surround the projection 4 in a plan view, any number of projections may surround the projection 4 in a plan view. That is, more than two projections may surround the projection 4 in a plan view. Alternatively, a single projection alone may surround the projection 4. The number of projections surrounding the projection 4 in a plan view may be changed in response to requirements for individual semiconductor chips, when the plurality of semiconductor chips are disposed on the upper surface of thedie pad substrate 70. - The following description is directed to a semiconductor chip 1, a
semiconductor chip 11, and a semiconductor chip 12, where the semiconductor chip 1 has an area enough to cover the projection 4 in a plan view, where thesemiconductor chip 11 has an area enough to cover the projection 4 and theprojection 71 in a plan view, and where the semiconductor chip 12 has an area enough to cover the projection 4, theprojection 71, and theprojection 72 in a plan view. -
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a structure in which thesemiconductor chip 11 is bonded to the upper surface of thedie pad substrate 70 provided with the projection 4, theprojection 71, and theprojection 72.FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional vie w of the structure taken along the line A-A′ inFIG. 2 . - As illustrated in
FIGS. 2 and 3 , thesemiconductor chip 11 is bonded to the upper surface of thedie pad substrate 70 through abonding material 3. Thesemiconductor chip 11 extends from a region provided with the projection 4 through a region provided with theprojection 71. - Although not illustrated in
FIGS. 2 and 3 , the die pad is disposed on the upper surface of a semiconductor substrate as part of the semiconductor substrate; alternatively, the die pad is disposed on the upper surface of a lead frame as part of the lead frame. The die pad is made of a conductive member. - Bonded to the upper surface of the
semiconductor chip 11 is, for example, a conductive wire or a conductive metal material, for establishing electrical conduction. - The
semiconductor chip 11 has ends each located above agroove 101 between theprojection 71 and theprojection 72. In other words, the ends of thesemiconductor chip 11 are located beyond the outer periphery of theprojection 71. -
FIGS. 2 and 3 illustrate that each side of the outer periphery of theprojection 71 is shorter than the corresponding side of thesemiconductor chip 11.FIGS. 2 and 3 also illustrate that each side of the inner periphery of theprojection 72 is longer than the corresponding side of thesemiconductor chip 11. - The
semiconductor chip 11 is bonded to the projection 4 and theprojection 71 through thebonding material 3. - More specifically, a necessary amount of the
bonding material 3 is firstly supplied to the upper surface of the individual projections, i.e., the upper surface of the projection 4 and the upper surface of theprojection 71, by dispensing and printing. - Subsequently, the
semiconductor chip 11 is mounted using a semiconductor-chip mounting apparatus, such as a mounter or a die bonder. At this time, thebonding material 3 is pressed to extend up to the upper surface of each projection by thesemiconductor chip 11. Thebonding material 3 then reaches the ends of each projection, and then finally falls down to extend to the upper surface of thedie pad substrate 70. - The
bonding material 3 may be supplied in any manner. Accordingly, thebonding material 3 may be intensively supplied to a single site on the upper surface of the projection 4, or to a single site on the upper surface of theprojection 71. Alternatively, thebonding material 3 may be distributed to a plurality of sites. - The
bonding material 3 may also be supplied so as to extend across the upper surface of the projection 4 and across the upper surface of theprojection 71, provided that thebonding material 3 is supplied so as to always exist inside thesemiconductor chip 11 in a plan view. - The projection 4 and the
projection 71 sandwich agroove 100. Here, how much and where thebonding material 3 is to be supplied are regulated such that thegroove 100 is filled with thebonding material 3 and that thegroove 101, which is sandwiched by theprojection 71 and theprojection 72, is partly but not completely filled with thebonding material 3. - Accordingly, the
bonding material 3 as supplied falls down thegroove 100 and further down thegroove 101 before reaching the ends of thesemiconductor chip 11. Consequently, the amount of thebonding material 3 decreases that extends up to the side surfaces of thesemiconductor chip 11 and to the upper surface of thesemiconductor chip 11, while the amount of thebonding material 3 increases that extends to the upper surface of thedie pad substrate 70. This prevents thebonding material 3 from reaching the side surfaces of thesemiconductor chip 11 and the upper surface of thesemiconductor chip 11. - Although not illustrated in
FIGS. 2 and 3 , the semiconductor chip 1 has ends each located above thegroove 100, which is disposed between the projection 4 and theprojection 71. That is, each end of the semiconductor chip 1 is located beyond the corresponding side surface of the projection 4. - Further, although not illustrated in
FIGS. 2 and 3 , the semiconductor chip 1 is configured such that each side of the outer periphery of the projection 4 is shorter than the corresponding side of the semiconductor chip 1. Further, although not illustrated inFIGS. 2 and 3 , the semiconductor chip 1 is configured such that each side of the inner periphery of theprojection 71 is longer than the corresponding side of the semiconductor chip 1. - Although not illustrated in
FIGS. 2 and 3 , the semiconductor chip 12 has ends each located above thedie pad substrate 70 extending outward from theprojection 72. - Yet further, although not illustrated in
FIGS. 2 and 3 , the semiconductor chip 12 is configured such that each side of the outer periphery of theprojection 72 is shorter than the corresponding side of the semiconductor chip 12. - When the semiconductor chip 1 is bonded, how much and where the
bonding material 3 is to be supplied are regulated such that thegroove 100 is partly but not completely filled with thebonding material 3. - When the semiconductor chip 12 is bonded, how much and where the
bonding material 3 is to be supplied are regulated such that thegroove 100 and thegroove 101 are filled with thebonding material 3 and that thebonding material 3 fails down the upper surface of thedie pad substrate 70 extending outward from theprojection 72. - This prevents the
bonding material 3 from reaching the side surfaces and upper surface of each semiconductor chip when one of the different-sized semiconductor chip 1,semiconductor chip 11, and semiconductor chip 12, is mounted on the upper surface of the samedie pad substrate 70 in conformance with types of semiconductor devices. - At this time, the outer periphery of the projection corresponding to the individual semiconductor chip preferably has sides each shorter than the corresponding side of the semiconductor chip by, for instance, 100 μm or greater, in view of all factors, such as semiconductor-chip mounting accuracy of an apparatus on which a semiconductor chip is to be mounted, variations in cutting a semiconductor substrate into semiconductor chips, and accuracy in forming projections on the upper surface of the
die pad substrate 70. - In other words, each side of the projection 4 in a plan, view is preferably shorter than the corresponding side of the semiconductor chip 1 by 100 μm or greater. Further, each side of the outer periphery of the
projection 71 in a plan view is preferably shorter than the corresponding side of thesemiconductor chip 11 by 100 μm or greater. Still further, each side of the outer periphery of theprojection 72 in a plan view is preferably shorter than the corresponding side of the semiconductor chip 12 by 100 μm or greater. - Doing so more probably enables the ends of the semiconductor chip to be located beyond the outermost projection.
- The aforementioned relationships relating to the lengths reduces conditions in which misalignment between each semiconductor chip and the corresponding projection causes any of the sides of the semiconductor chip not to extend beyond the smaller projection. This prevents the
bonding material 3 from reaching the ends of the semiconductor chip before reaching the ends of the projection. - The
projection 71 and theprojection 72, which surround the projection 4 in a plan view, each do not need to be a single, continuous projection. -
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a structure where the individual projection, which surrounds the projection 4 in a plan view, is composed of a plurality of parts spaced apart from each other. - As illustrated in
FIG. 4 , the die pad includes the following: thedie pad substrate 70; the projection 4 disposed on the upper surface of thedie pad substrate 70, the projection 4 having a pedestal shape; aprojection 71A disposed on the upper surface of thedie pad substrate 70 so as to surround the projection 4 in a plan view; and aprojection 72A disposed on the upper surface of thedie pad substrate 70 so as to further surround theprojection 71A in a plan view. - Here, the
projection 71A includes aprojection 711, aprojection 712, aprojection 713, and aprojection 714. Further, theprojection 72A includes aprojection 721, aprojection 722, aprojection 723, and aprojection 724. - Reference is made to the
projection 71A. Theprojection 711 and theprojection 713 are disposed in positions facing each other. Further, theprojection 712 and theprojection 714 are disposed in positions facing each other. - Reference is now made to the
projection 72A. Theprojection 721 and theprojection 723 are disposed in positions facing each other. Further, theprojection 722 and theprojection 724 are disposed in positions facing each other. - At this time, when the
semiconductor chip 11 is mounted, for instance, thebonding material 3 that has reached the ends of theprojection 71A falls down thegroove 100 between theprojection 71A and theprojection 72A. Here, more amount of thebonding material 3 than appropriate, if any, causes thebonding material 3 to extend up to an upper portion of theprojection 72A upon reaching theprojection 72A. - However, the
projection 72A includes a plurality of projections spaced apart from each other, namely, theprojection 721, theprojection 722, theprojection 723, and theprojection 724. Accordingly, thebonding material 3 passes through between these projections of theprojection 72A spaced apart from each other to thus leak outside theprojection 72A. This prevents thebonding material 3 from extending up to the upper surface of theprojection 72A, and further prevents thebonding material 3 from extending up to the side surfaces of thesemiconductor chip 11 and the upper surface of thesemiconductor chip 11. - The
bonding material 3 may be a resin adhesive. Alternatively, thebonding material 3 may be a metal bonding material, such as solder or a sintered material. The use of a conductive bonding material, such as solder, Ag paste, or sintered Ag, allows the first preferred embodiment to apply to a semiconductor device that needs to establish electrical conduction from the upper surface of a semiconductor chip, through the inside of the semiconductor chip, to the lower surface of the semiconductor chip, projections, and further a die pad. - The following describes a die pad, a semiconductor device, and a method for producing the semiconductor device, according to a second preferred embodiment. In the following description, components similar to those described in the aforementioned preferred embodiment are denoted by the same symbols, and the detailed descriptions of the similar components are omitted as necessary.

FIG. 5 is a schematic perspective view of a configuration for achieving the die pad according to the second preferred embodiment. In view of easy understanding of the configuration,FIG. 5 may contain omission or simplification of some of the components. - As illustrated in
FIG. 5 , the die pad includes the following: thedie pad substrate 70; the projection 4 disposed on the upper surface of thedie pad substrate 70, the projection 4 having a pedestal shape; a projection 71B disposed on the upper surface of thedie pad substrate 70 so as to partly surround the projection 4 in a plan view; and a projection 72B disposed on the upper surface of thedie pad substrate 70 so as to partly surround the projection 71B in a plan view. - The projection 71B is provided to partly surround the projection 4 in a plan view. In other words, the projection 71B does not completely surround the perimeter of the projection 4 in a plan view; that is, the projection 71B has such a shape that its perimeter is partly lacking. If the projection 4 is rectangular in a plan view, the projection 71B is lacking in a site adjacent to the projection 4, facing at least one of the sides of the projection 4 or part of this side, as illustrated in
FIG. 5 . - The projection 72B is likewise provided to partly surround the projection 4 in a plan view, and is also provided to partly surround the projection 71B in a plan view. In other words, the projection 72B does not completely surround the perimeter of the projection 71B in a plan view; that is, the projection 72B has such a shape that its perimeter is partly lacking. If the projection 71B is rectangular in a plan view, the projection 72B is lacking in a site adjacent to the projection 71B, facing at least one of the sides of the projection 71B or part of this side, as illustrated in
FIG. 5 . - The semiconductor chip 1, the
semiconductor chip 11, or the semiconductor chip 12 is mounted such that one of the sides of the semiconductor chip is located outside one of the four sides of the projection 4. Reference is made to the three remaining sides of each semiconductor chip. For the semiconductor chip 1, the three remaining sides are located outside the projection 4; for thesemiconductor chip 11, outside the projection 71B; and for the semiconductor chip 12, outside the projection 72B. -
FIG. 6 is a perspective view of a structure in which thesemiconductor chip 11 is bonded to the upper surface of thedie pad substrate 70 provided with the projection 4, the projection 71B and the projection 72B. It is noted that any number of projections may be provided other than three projections as illustrated inFIG. 6 . In some embodiments, further additional projections are provided that partly surround the projection 4 in a plan view. Alternatively, a single projection may be provided that partly surrounds the projection. - For semiconductor chips having difference sizes from each other, such a configuration enables one of the sides of the individual semiconductor chips to be disposed in a common position. That is, one of the sides of each semiconductor chip, the one side having no projection 71B and no projection 72B, is disposed in the same position. This achieves a uniform distance between a specific site and the different-sized semiconductor chips.
- The following describes a die pad, a semiconductor device, and a method for producing the semiconductor device, according to a third preferred embodiment. In the following description, components similar to those described in the aforementioned preferred embodiments are denoted by the same symbols, and the detailed descriptions of the similar components are omitted as necessary.
- <Method for Forming Projections>
- Provided below is a description about a method for forming individual projections disposed on the
die pad substrate 70. - Each projection as described in the aforementioned preferred embodiments does not need to be exposed upward from the
die pad substrate 70.FIG. 7 is a schematic perspective view of a configuration for achieving the die pad according to the third preferred embodiment. In view of easy understanding of the configuration,FIG. 7 may contain omission or simplification of some of the components. - As illustrated in
FIG. 7 , the method includes forming an annular groove 9 on the upper surface of thedie pad substrate 70 to form a projection 4C having a pedestal shape. The method further includes forming a plurality of grooves: agroove 91; and agroove 92 in the outer periphery of the groove 9 to form a projection 71C having a bank shape and a projection 72C having a bank shape. - At this time, the upper surface of the
die pad substrate 70 is flush with the upper surface of the projection 4C before each groove is formed. Each groove is simply required to be formed by pressing or etching. For a lead frame, the formation of each groove can coincide with the shaping of the lead frame: additionally, for a semiconductor substrate, the formation of each groove can coincide with the formation of the die pad. Each projection is thus easily formed. - It is noted that a plurality of grooves may be formed in the outer peripheries of the three remaining sides of the groove, excluding one of the sides thereof, so that the structures as illustrated in
FIGS. 5 and 6 can be established to thus provide a limited position for mounting the semiconductor chip. - The following describes a die pad, a semiconductor device, and a method for producing the semiconductor device, according to a fourth preferred embodiment. In the following description, components similar to those described in the aforementioned preferred embodiments are denoted by the same symbols, and the detailed descriptions of the similar components are omitted as necessary.
- <Configuration of Die Pad>
-
FIG. 8 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a configuration for achieving the die pad according to the fourth preferred embodiment. In view of easy understanding of the configuration,FIG. 8 may contain omission or simplification of some of the components. - As illustrated in
FIG. 8 , the die pad includes the following: thedie pad substrate 70; a projection 4D disposed on the upper surface of thedie pad substrate 70, the projection 4D having a pedestal shape; a projection 71D disposed on the upper surface of thedie pad substrate 70 so as to surround the projection 4D in a plan view, the projection 71D having a bank shape; and a projection 72D disposed on the upper surface of thedie pad substrate 70 so as to further surround the projection 71D in a plan view, the projection 72D having a bank shape. - As illustrated in
FIG. 8 , the projection 4D is provided with side surfaces each having aninclined shape 200 that extends outward toward a lower position of the projection 4D, i.e., so as to extend outward from the upper surface of the projection 4D toward the bottom surface of agroove 100A. As illustrated inFIG. 8 , the projection 71D is provided with an outer peripheral surface having aninclined shape 201 that extends outward toward a lower position of the projection 71D, i.e., extends outward from the upper surface of the projection 71D toward the bottom surface of agroove 101A. As illustrated inFIG. 8 , the projection 72D is provided with an outer peripheral surface having aninclined shape 202 that extends outward toward a lower position of the projection 72D, i.e., extends outward from the upper surface of the projection 72D toward the upper surface of thedie pad substrate 70, adjacent to the outer periphery of the projection 72D. - Accordingly, the
bonding material 3 falls down the grooves between the projections along the inclines. Thus, thebonding material 3 is stably distributed to corners formed by each projection and thedie pad substrate 70, i.e., corners on the bottom surface of each groove. - When the
semiconductor chip 11 is bonded for instance, thebonding material 3, which is supplied to the upper surface of the projection 4D, extends along theinclined shape 200. Thebonding material 3 then extends to internal corners of thegroove 100A, and further to external corners of thegroove 100A. - The
bonding material 3 then reaches the upper surface of the projection 71D, and further extends along theinclined shape 201. Thebonding material 3 then extends to internal corners of thegroove 101A, and further to external corners of thegroove 101A. - When the semiconductor chip 12 is bonded, the
bonding material 3 reaches the upper surface of the projection 72D and further extends along theinclined shape 202. Thebonding material 3 then extends to external corners of the projection 72D. - This reduces air-bubbles at the internal corners and external corners of the groove, and further at the external corners of the projection 72D. This prevents the
bonding material 3 from reaching the upper surface of the semiconductor chip and the side surfaces of the semiconductor chip, and further maintains uniform bonding quality. - The following describes effects of the aforementioned preferred embodiments. Although these effects are based on specific configurations that are illustrated in the above-described preferred embodiments, to an extent that like effects are obtained, these specific configurations may be replaced with different specific embodiments that are illustrated in the specification.
- The replacement may be done over several preferred embodiments. That is, combinations of the individual configurations, which are illustrated in the different preferred embodiments, may bring like effects.
- In the aforementioned preferred embodiment, the die pad includes the
die pad substrate 70, a first projection having a pedestal shape, a second projection having a bank shape, and a third projection having a bank shape. The first projection, which has a pedestal shape, is disposed on the upper surface of thedie pad substrate 70. The second projection is disposed on the upper surface of thedie pad substrate 70 so as to surround at least part of the first projection in a plan view. The third projection is disposed on the upper surface of thedie pad substrate 70 so as to surround at least part of the second projection in a plan view. Here, the first projection corresponds to, for instance, the projection 4; the second projection, to theprojection 71; and the third projection, to theprojection 72. - By virtues of such a configuration, the grooves between the projections on the upper surface of the
die pad substrate 70 are filled with thebonding material 3, or thebonding material 3 leaks out to the upper surface of thedie pad substrate 70 extending outward from the projection of thedie pad substrate 70, when the semiconductor chip is bonded using thebonding material 3. This prevents thebonding material 3 from reaching the upper or lower surface of the semiconductor chip. In addition, such a configuration, in which the plurality of grooves are provided, is applicable to semiconductor chips having different sizes from each other. - It is noted that different configurations illustrated in the specification, other than the above configurations may be omitted as necessary. That is, at least the above configurations alone bring the above-described effects.
- However, the above configurations can additionally include at least one of the different configurations illustrated in the specification as necessary; that is, the above configurations can additionally include the different configurations illustrated in the present specification, which are excluded from these configurations. Such additionally included configurations still bring the above-described effects.
- In the aforementioned preferred embodiment, the
projection 71A includes a plurality of projections arranged at intervals in a circumferential direction of theprojection 71A. Such a configuration enables thebonding material 3 to leak outward from gaps in the circumferential direction of theprojection 71A. This effectively prevents thebonding material 3 from reaching the upper surface of the semiconductor chip, or effectively prevents thebonding material 3 from reaching the lower surface of the semiconductor chip. - In the aforementioned preferred embodiment, the
projection 72A includes a plurality of projections arranged at intervals in a circumferential direction of theprojection 72A. Such a configuration enables thebonding material 3 to leak outward from gaps in the circumferential direction of theprojection 72A. This effectively prevents thebonding material 3 from reaching the upper surface of the semiconductor chip, or effectively prevents thebonding material 3 from reaching the lower surface of the semiconductor chip. - In the aforementioned preferred embodiment, the projection 71B is provided to partly surround the projection 4 in a plan view. By virtue of such a configuration, the grooves between the projections on the upper surface of the
die pad substrate 70 are filled with thebonding material 3, or thebonding material 3 leaks out to the upper surface of thedie pad substrate 70 extending outward from the projection of thedie pad substrate 70, This prevents thebonding material 3 from reaching the upper surface or lower surface of the semiconductor chip. - In the aforementioned preferred embodiment, the projection 72B is provided to partly surround the projection 71B in a plan view. By virtue of such a configuration, the grooves between the projections on the upper surface of the
die pad substrate 70 are filled with thebonding material 3, or thebonding material 3 leaks out to the upper surface of thedie pad substrate 70 extending outward from the projection of thedie pad substrate 70. This prevents thebonding material 3 from reaching the upper surface or lower surface of the semiconductor chip. In addition, the projection 71B and the projection 72B may be provided so as not to surround the same one of the sides of the semiconductor chip. If semiconductor chips having different sizes from each other are provided, one of the sides of each semiconductor chip, not surrounded by the projection 71B and the projection 72B, would be disposed in the same position. This enables a uniform distance between a specific site and each of the different-sized semiconductor chips. A wire, for instance, can be used for establishing a connection of the semiconductor chip. In this case, the semiconductor chip is disposed so as to be close to one of the ends of the wire, remote from the semiconductor chip. This enables the wire to be short. - In the aforementioned preferred embodiment, the projection 4D is provided with side surfaces each having the
inclined shape 200 that extends outward from the upper surface of the projection 4D toward the upper surface of thedie pad substrate 70, adjacent to the outer periphery of the projection 4D. In such a configuration, thebonding material 3, which is supplied to the upper surface of the projection 4D, extends along theinclined shape 200 when thesemiconductor chip 11 is bonded. Thebonding material 3 then extends to the internal corners of thegroove 100A, and further to the external corners of thegroove 100A. This reduces the following situation: thebonding material 3 leaks out of the upper surface of the projection 4D to extend across thegroove 100A; and at this time, air-bubbles are generated at the internal corners of thegroove 100A and further at the external corners of thegroove 100A. - In the aforementioned preferred embodiment, the projection 71D is provided with side surfaces each having the
inclined shape 201 that extends outward from the upper surface of the projection 71D toward the upper surface of thedie pad substrate 70, adjacent to the outer periphery of the projection 71D. In such a configuration, thebonding material 3, which is supplied to the upper surface of the projection 4D, extends along theinclined shape 201 via the upper surface of the projection 71D when thesemiconductor chip 11 is bonded. Thebonding material 3 then extends to the internal corners of thegroove 101A and further to the external corners of thegroove 101A. This reduces the following situation: thebonding material 3 leaks out of the upper surface of the projection 71D to extend across thegroove 101A: and at this time, air-bubbles are generated at the internal corners of thegroove 101A and further at the external corners of thegroove 101A. - In the aforementioned preferred embodiment, the projection 72D is provided with side surfaces each having the
inclined shape 202 that extends outward from the upper surface of the projection 72D toward the upper surface of thedie pad substrate 70, adjacent to the outer periphery of the projection 72D. In such a configuration, thebonding material 3 reaches the upper surface of the projection 72D, and then further extends along theinclined shape 202, when the semiconductor chip 12 is bonded. Thebonding material 3 then extends to the external corners of the projection 72D. This reduces the following situation: thebonding material 3 leaks out of the upper surface of the projection 72D to extend to the outer periphery of the projection 72D; and at this time, air-bubbles are generated at the external corners of the projection 72D. - In the aforementioned preferred embodiment, the semiconductor device includes the die pad and the
semiconductor chip 11. Thesemiconductor chip 11 is disposed above the upper surface of the die pad through thebonding material 3. The die pad includes thedie pad substrate 70, the projection 4 having a pedestal shape, theprojection 71 having a bank shape, and theprojection 72 having a bank shape. The projection 4, which has a pedestal shape, is disposed on the upper surface of thedie pad substrate 70, in a region provided with thesemiconductor chip 11. Theprojection 71, which has a bank shape, is disposed on the upper surface of thedie pad substrate 70 so as to surround at least part of the projection 4 in a plan view. Theprojection 72, which has a bank shape, is disposed on the upper surface of thedie pad substrate 70 so as to surround at least part of theprojection 71 in a plan view. Thesemiconductor chip 11, which is disposed above the upper surface of thedie pad substrate 70, has ends each located above a first groove between the projection 4 and the projection 7, above a second groove between theprojection 71 and theprojection 72, or above thedie pad substrate 70 extending outward from theprojection 72. Here, the first groove corresponds to, for instance, thegroove 100. Further, the second groove corresponds to, for instance, thegroove 101. - In such a configuration, the grooves on the upper surface of the
die pad substrate 70 are filled with thebonding material 3, or thebonding material 3 leaks out to the upper surface of thedie pad substrate 70 extending outward from the projection of thedie pad substrate 70, when the semiconductor chip is bonded using the bonding material. This prevents thebonding material 3 from reaching the upper surface or lower surface of the semiconductor chip. Such a configuration, in which the plurality of grooves are provided, is applicable to semiconductor chips having different sized from each other. - It is noted that different configurations illustrated in the specification, other than the above configurations may be omitted as necessary. That is, at least the above configurations alone bring the above-described effects.
- However, the above configurations can additionally include at least one of the different configurations illustrated in the specification as necessary; that is, the above configurations can additionally include the different configurations illustrated in the present specification, which are excluded from these configurations. Such additionally included configurations still bring the above-described effects.
- In the aforementioned preferred embodiment, each end of the semiconductor chip 1 is located above the
groove 100, the semiconductor chip 1 has a width greater than a width of a region provided with the projection 4 by 100 μm or greater. Further, each end of thesemiconductor chip 11 is located above thegroove 101, thesemiconductor chip 11 has a width greater than a width of a region provided with theprojection 71 by 100 μm or greater. Still further, when each end of the semiconductor chip 12 is located above thedie pad substrate 70 extending outward from theprojection 72, the semiconductor chip 12 has a width greater than a width of a region provided with theprojection 72 by 100 μm or greater. Such a configuration would prevent thebonding material 3 from reaching the upper surface of the semiconductor chip or the lower surface of the semiconductor chip if variations, such as a tolerance in processing a typical semiconductor chip, a tolerance in processing a typical lead frame, and accuracy in mounting the semiconductor chip are reflected. - In the aforementioned preferred embodiment, the
bonding material 3 is conductive. In such a configuration, the use of a conductive material, such as solder, Ag paste, or sintered silver, as thebonding material 3 allows the die pad according to the preferred embodiment to be used for a semiconductor device that needs to establish electrical conduction between a bonding surface of a semiconductor chip and the die pad. - In the aforementioned preferred embodiment, a method for producing a semiconductor device includes preparing a die pad, and placing a semiconductor chip above the upper surface of the die pad through the
bonding material 3. Here, the step of preparing the die pad includes the following: preparing thedie pad substrate 70; forming the groove 9 surrounding a partial region onto the upper surface of thedie pad substrate 70 to form a first projection having a pedestal shape; forming thegroove 91 surrounding the groove 9 onto the upper surface of thedie pad substrate 70 to form a second projection having a bank shape; and forming a third groove surrounding thegroove 91 onto the upper surface of thedie pad substrate 70 to form a third projection having a bank shape. Here, the third groove corresponds to, for instance, thegroove 92. Further, the first projection corresponds to, for instance, the projection 4C. Still further, the second projection corresponds to, for instance, the projection 71C. Yet further, the third projection corresponds to, for instance, the projection 72C. The step of placing the semiconductor chip above the upper surface of the die pad through thebonding material 3 includes placing thesemiconductor chip 11 in a region surrounded by the groove 9, which is disposed on the upper surface of thedie pad substrate 70, through thebonding material 3. When the semiconductor chip is placed above the upper surface of the die pad through thebonding material 3, thesemiconductor chip 11, which is disposed above the upper surface of thedie pad substrate 70, has ends each positioned above the groove 9, above thegroove 91, or above thegroove 92. - In such a configuration, the grooves, which are disposed on the upper surface of the
die pad substrate 70, are filled with thebonding material 3, or thebonding material 3 leaks out to the upper surface of thedie pad substrate 70 extending outward from the projections of thedie pad substrate 70, when the semiconductor chip is bonded using thebonding material 3. This prevents thebonding material 3 from reaching the upper surface of lower surface of the semiconductor chip. In addition, the upper surface of thedie pad substrate 70 undergoes processing, such as pressing or etching to form the groove 9, thegroove 91, and further thegroove 92. This facilitates the production of the semiconductor device according to the preferred embodiment. In addition, this configuration, in which the plurality of grooves are formed, is applicable to semiconductor chips having different sizes from each other. - It is noted that different configurations illustrated in the specification, other than the above configurations may be omitted as necessary. That is, at least the above configurations alone bring the above-described effects.
- However, the above configurations can additionally include at least one of the different configurations illustrated in the specification as necessary; that is, the above configurations can additionally include the different configurations illustrated in the present specification, which are excluded from these configurations. Such additionally included configurations still bring the above-described effects.
